Still, could "memories bring diamonds and rust" refer to ancient or rather 10 years old mementos like cufflinks or half-shell turned to diamonds in rust rims?

@vphi I'm pretty sure that "the girl on the half-shell" refers to the image in Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus". She is saying that she was, or would have been, both mother (Madonna) and lover (Venus) to him. I think.

Baez has said before what "Diamonds and Rust" are: Memories. "Time turns ugly charcoal into diamonds and shiny metal into rust."
